BR 330T Programming
I just acquired this scanner and love it, tho I am considering purchasing
the 396 due to the fact that I travel nationwide and run into too many digital situations in larger cities, but my question will pertain to both scanners. What would be the quickest way to download a system to the radio when I arrive in a particular city? Is there a frequency CD or program out there that is compatible with the scanner that will let me quickly download the one system I need and assign it a quick key within say 5 minutes after I get to a certain locale? Any suggestions greatly appreciated. I am a 48-state trucker and need a quick programmer. As it is, I sit and search for systems and punch them in manually - pain in the arse. By the time I get them configured, it's time to leave: ) Thanks! J |

You can use the free Uniden UASD software that you can download at their site to save the systems to both the scanner and a laptop, from which you can upload any system to the scanner in a few minutes. Even if you program the system by hand, you can save it to disk, so the next time you're there you just upload it to the scanner. BTW, CDs and books are outdated almost before you get them. The RR site is kept up to date by the users. (It would be nice if you contributed something to it if you find it useful. I have nothing to do with the site other than being a user, but I think it's a site worth supporting.) |

OK, from what I have researched - I will have to pay 30 buckaroos to unlock
the full version of the Uniden software in order to use it to dl from the RR database. No problem with donating to the RadioReference website, it is well worth it, in my opinion - so, what would you suggest...unlock the Uniden sw or purchase the 3arc330? I'm leaning more toward the arc330, but I'm not crazy about the interface and graphics. Any comments on using the RR website with either program to dl and program freqs?

I use the Uniden software, only because I don't like Gommert's attitude. I'm a shareware/freeware author and he disparages free software. YMMV.

The Uniden programs don't directly download from the site, but KB8SOE has a site that can generate a file from a copy/paste of the site. I've used it a few times. www.kb8soe.com/396/uasd.php |

The facts: - we did offer you a discount - after your first email I visited both scancat/scancontrol websites to check their current offering for the Uniden BR330T and make a competitive offer, but both companies do not list the popular BR330T in their list of supported equipment! - I asked you to send me the websites showing they do support the BR330T but I am still waiting for that information, I even downloaded their latest demo's and doc's, none of them mention BR330T |

So you haven't, and yet you make pronouncements about it. You've reaffirmed my faith in a particular portion of the species, Gommert. It's quite a telent, you know - I can only speak out of my mouth. |

I don't think Gommert has an attitude problem. He writes excellent software
for a multitude of scanners, and exploits all their features! The software looks great, and works as advertised. It's well supported too! You can email Gommert directly, and he responds, and provides answers, fixes, and updates to all his software products. I've purchased ARC780, ARC250PRO, and recently ARC396PRO. In another week, or so, I'll probably purchase ARC330...still waiting for the radio. I've been totally satisfied with Butel's software, and Gommert's support! Gommert also participates in the Usenet newsgroups, and on Radio Reference as well! I think he is definitely an asset to the hobby! He works hard, and wants to get paid. What's wrong with that? Why should he give it away? Bill Crocker "Al Klein" wrote in message ...

Saying that software that's free can't be good is an attitude problem in my book. Maybe if I didn't write freeware I would feel differently, but he got a little too personal. |

Ok, I see where you're coming from.
